Pudsey Lace Fair is also on this weekend if anyone is around. 🥰

We are almost ready for the Pudsey Lace and Craft Fair on Saturday - we will be up bright and early to travel north! Delighted to be returning to this fabulous event after having to miss last year due to illness.

The van will be full of lots of goodies but it is not too late to let me know should there be any specific requests - we bring a lot of stock but would hate to disappoint by not having the one particular colour, book or anything else on your wish list. Drop me a line - [email protected] before 6.00 pm tomorrow 😀

Please do support the fair if you are able, the organisers and suppliers really do appreciate this ❤️ .

See you there!

Looking forward to this year's Christmas Lace Fair. Who else is going?

The lace fair season has now started and it is just 9 weeks to the Mainly Lace EventsChristmas Fair! It takes place on the 5th December and is always a fun event to end the year with.

How about making this an extra special day by booking a space on one of the one-day courses? Not only do you get some fabulous tuition but you get early access to the suppliers without the crowds plus a commemorative bobbin. Courses available are:

* Claire Bonito - Milanese Lace
* Rachel Ellen - Macrame
* Jan Gardiner - Torchon & Bucks Point Lace
* Susan Bradshaw - Needle Lace
* Doreen Creed - Honiton Lace

Wow, what an opportunity to have an introduction to a new lace or advance your skills.

Louise West Lace Design is moving her Saturday workshops which are just across the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border in Ilkeston - sounds like a great venue if anyone is interested - book via her website 🙂

From Saturday 28th November 2026, Saturday workshops will be held at the Hayloft, at Erewash Museum, High St, Ilkeston, DE7 5JA.

I am very excited to be moving my Saturday workshops to this lovely venue, which will be in the Hayloft, a nice big room (compared with my studio) which although is upstairs, it has a lift and fully accessible toilet.

The venue also have a lovely café for light lunches and more interesting hot drinks (to purchase) than the plain tea and coffee (which are included in the cost of the workshops)
There is a second hand bookshop and an interesting museum to wander around in your lunch break with changing exhibitions in the Lally Gallery.

Workshops for all levels including complete beginners. Bookings now being taken for these. Cost will be £30 for the day, hours 11-4 and include tea and coffee. The price has been reduced to reflect the slightly shorter day and the size of the room, but will still offer the same teaching and opportunity for all levels of lacemakers, from beginners upwards.

Dates currently on offer - 28th November and 16th January with more to follow. Bookable as usual through my website

Would love some of you to join me at this exciting new venue for lace classes.

We're back at the Nottingham Industrial Museum in Wollaton Park on Sunday for the last time this year.
Nb. It gets a bit too chilly to do it in the winter, so we'll be back again in April 🙂
